| (theme song) | |
| Episode begins in New Monstertown; Star, Marco, Moon, and River ride into town on warnicorns. | |
| Star Butterfly | So, yeah, those are the big changes. Eclipsa is queen, monsters live among Mewmans, and there's this new kind of chocolate called carob. It's not very good. |
| Moon Butterfly | Hmm. The things that happen when you lose your memory. |
| Star | Yep, things are a bit different! |
| Slime Monster | Hey, Star! You want some hay? |
| Star | No, thanks. Uh, I'm good. |
| Moon | Monsters living among Mewmans. I never thought I'd see the day. |
| Star | So, now that you've seen it, you're, uh, not mad, right? |
| Moon | No, I'm not mad. It's just different. Different can be good. |
| Star | Oh, good! [chuckles] Wait, you do remember what monsters are, right? |
| Moon | Star, I know what monsters are. |
| River Butterfly | Moonpie! Does this mean your memory is back?! |
| Moon | It's getting there. |
| River | Huzzah! Oh, wait. Does this mean you remember our 14th anniversary? |
| Moon | [laughs] You got sick on the Twirly-Whirly Wheel and threw up in our caramel corn. |
| River | What?! I was hoping that one would be lost to the ages. |
| River's warnicorn | [whickers, stops walks] |
| River | Aah! [falls on the ground] Oof! |
| Star | Well, here we are! The new and improved Monster Temple! I know it's got a lot of stairs, but, y'know, sometimes it's a nice stroll. |
| Moon | [gets off her warnicorn, kneels down next to River] You know, a walk might be nice with proper company. |
| River | I'm proper company. [bird lands on his head] |
| Moon | Yes, you are. |
| Star | [gets off her warnicorn] |
| Marco Diaz | Soooo... Didn't you, uh... [chuckles] ...leave something out? |
| Star | Hmm? Nope, nope. Think I caught her up! |
| Marco | What about the 50-foot monster inside that place? |
| Star | Um, who? |
| Marco | Globgo— [Star covers his mouth] Mmph. |
| Moon | Come on! I'll race you up the stairs! |
| River | [laughs] Okay! |
| Marco | What? I can't say "Globgor" now? Glossaryck said nothing but the word "Globgor" for, like, the last year. |
| Star | Marco, I don't know what we're gonna do about... [whispering] the "Plucker of Limbs". [speaking normally] But I'll deal with it when I figure it out, okay? |
| Marco | Oh, I get it. So you're just gonna avoid the problem then? |
| Star | [walks up temple stairs] You don't understand. I grew up with stories of Eclipsa's monster love. If she saw him face to face, she'd lose her mind! Again! Again, Marco! |
| Marco | [sighs] Maybe just don't make a big deal out of it? Your mom might be cooler than you think. |
| Moon | [panting, reaches top of the stairs] I win! |
| River | [out of breath] Yes, you win. |
| Star | Or, Marco, we can sweep it under the rug until I find a good time to tell her. And as my squire, I order you to be duplicitous in this plan. |
| Marco | W-Where'd you learn that word? |
| Star | So, Mom, what do you think of the place so far? |
| Moon | Well, I last remember it being in ruins, so it's nice. |
| Star | Oh! Wait until you see the inside. [opens temple doors] Eclipsa's been fixing it up real nice. You can barely even smell Ludo lived here. |
| Moon | Ah, yes, Ludo. [mimicking Ludo] "Turns out you're dead." I remember him. |
| Star | See? She got tapestries, chandeliers, some tasteful paintings. |
| Moon | [looks at lizard statue] What's that? |
| Star | Oh, that's her sculpture collection. Eclipsa looooves sculptures. |
| Moon | Wow. What beautiful... art. |
| River | You call that art? [flexes his muscles] These are masterpieces! [chuckles] |
| Moon | Well, it looks like Eclipsa's really making this place her own. |
| Eclipsa Butterfly | (o.s.) Moon? |
| Eclipsa steps out of the shadows with baby Meteora. | |
| Moon | Star was just showing me around. It's really impressive, everything you've do— |
| Eclipsa | [hugs Moon tightly, tearing up] Moon. Do you remember me? Do you remember what I did? |
| Moon | [strained] No, not really, it's just... it's just a feeling. |
| Meteora Butterfly | [crying] |
| River | [strained] I think you're... squishing the baby. |
| Eclipsa | Oh, no, no, no, she's fine. She only cries like this when she's got a dirty nappy. Manfred! |
| Manfred enters, takes Meteora from Eclipsa, and walks away. | |
| Meteora | [giggles] |
| Eclipsa | Moon... I'm so sorry for everything that happened. I— |
| Moon | Eclipsa, it's okay. Maybe it's a good thing that I can't remember. |
| Moon and Eclipsa share a hug. Eclipsa looks over at River, who looks back at her with an angry face. | |
| Eclipsa | Oh, River. Hello. Maybe you'd like to freshen up under the waterfall? |
| River | Oh-ho-ho. So, now that you're queen, you think you can just boss me around? |
| Moon | River, go take a bath. |
| River | Yes, dear. But only because you asked me. [walks away] |
| Moon | He's still processing all of this. |
| Eclipsa | And Moon, my dear, how are you holding up? I know it's a lot to take in. Me running the kingdom, Meteora's a baby, and, of course, there's Globgor. |
| Moon | Globgor? I feel like I-I know that name somehow. |
| Eclipsa | I'll show you. Right this way! |
| Star | Marco! Distraction! Now! |
| Marco | What? Why me? |
| Star | Marco, just do it! |
| Marco takes a few steps backward and stumbles down a flight of stairs. | |
| Marco | Aah! Aaah! [screams, falls down stairs] |
| Moon and Eclipsa stop in front of a door and hear Marco falling off-screen. | |
| Marco | [groaning] |
| Star | [comes down stairs] Oh, no-no-no! Oh, my gosh! [shakes Marco] Marco, speak to me! |
| Marco | You're not supposed to shake people with spinal injuries! |
| Star | [shakes Marco again] You have a spinal injury?! |
| Marco | No! But if I did, shaking me wouldn't help. |
| Star | Marco, that stunt was totally overkill. |
| Marco | Actually, I slipped. |
| Eclipsa | [comes down stairs] Marco! Oh, I am so sorry! We just had the stairs waxed! |
| Glossaryck | [falls down stairs] Whoa! Oof! Ow! |
| Eclipsa | Marco, are you all right? |
| Star | Okay, look, Eclipsa. I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to talk to you about this, but I think I should be the one to tell my mom about Globgor. Yeah, her memory just isn't all there yet, and this is a lot to take in. You know what I mean? |
| Moon | [comes down stairs] Oh, my goodness! Marco, what happened? |
| Marco | Uhhhh... |
| Star | [chuckles] Oh, Mom, Marco was just so excited because he wanted to show you... Eclipsa's guitar! Eclipsa, did you know my mom plays classical guitar like a beast? |
| Eclipsa | Ooh! Moon, you simply must play us a tune! |
| Moon | Oh. [chuckles] I suppose one song wouldn't hurt. |
| Moon plays a soft acoustic guitar piece on Eclipsa's bone guitar. Eclipsa, Star, and Marco stare in amazement at her talent. Cut to River bathing under a waterfall. The bugs and leaves covering his body wash away. | |
| River | My sweet little angels. [sobs] Goodbye. |
| Cut back to Eclipsa and Moon. | |
| Eclipsa | That is so beyond brilliant! What if you kicked it up a little? Like... [imitating rock guitar] ♪ Eeh eeh eh eh eeh ehh! ♪ |
| Moon | Ah, yes, I suppose you could. Perhaps a little... [plays rock guitar riff, laughs] |
| Eclipsa | [imitating rock guitar] ♪ Eeh eh eeh eh eeh! ♪ |
| Star | What the...? |
| Marco | I need to talk to you. |
| Star | Am I losing my mind? They're, like, having fun. |
| Marco | That was a close one. You need to tell your mom about Globgor. She's gonna find out sooner or later. Rip that Band-Aid off! |
| Star | You know what? You are right, Marco. Mom, I have something important to tell you! |
| Eclipsa | [playing hard rock guitar solo] |
| Star | [yells over guitar] Eclipsa! Eclipsa! Eclipsa! |
| Eclipsa | [stops playing] Oh, I'm sorry. I just got lost in a solo. |
| Star | Eclipsa, where's my mom? |
| Eclipsa | She was just here. |
| Star, Marco, and Eclipsa run back up the stairs and enter Globgor's chamber. | |
| Star | No, no, no! Mom! |
| Moon watches monsters use pickaxes on Globgor's crystal prison. | |
| Moon | The Monster King... |
| Star | Uh, um, Mom, look. I wanted to tell you, but I was just afraid your brain couldn't take it. |
| Moon | You know, Eclipsa, torches and chisels won't do anything to Rhombulus' magic. |
| Eclipsa | I know. But I just couldn't stand the sight of my love just sitting there, trapped, without doing something. |
| Moon | I understand. Being separated from the ones you love is a terrible thing. |
| Star | Marco, what's happening? She's being... so reasonable. |
| Marco | [whispering] I know! I told you she would be. |
| Eclipsa | Thank you for being so understanding. That means a lot to me. |
| Archibald | Eclipsa? Can... can I blow the horn now? |
| Eclipsa | I suppose it is time. Yes, please. |
| Archibald | [plays trumpet out of tune] Dinner is served! |
| Star, Marco, Moon, River, Eclipsa, and several monsters have dinner together near Globgor's crystal. | |
| Eclipsa | You'll never guess what Meteora tried to eat today. |
| Wolf monster | Ah, here you are. Open up, darling. [feeds bird monster] |
| Bird monster | [squawking] |
| River | What kind of barbarian eats roots and leaves for dinner? |
| Glossaryck | [dives into bowl of pudding] The things you miss when you're dead. |
| River | [pounds dinner table] Confound it! That was the only vegetable worth eating! |
| Moon | [chuckles] |
| Eclipsa | 300 years later, and he's still the same little scamp. |
| Moon and Eclipsa | [laughing] |
| Meteora crawls across the table. | |
| Glossaryck | Hello, infant! |
| Meteora | [babbles, picks up Glossaryck and sucks on his forehead crystal] |
| Glossaryck | Wow! Somebody's teeth grew in fast! |
| Moon | Star did the same thing when she was a baby. |
| Eclipsa | [laughs] Babies do the darnedest things! |
| Moon | Star also used to wear her diapers as a crown. [laughs] Can you imagine? |
| Marco | [laughs] Really? |
| Star | At least I didn't wear a meat blanket for a month. |
| Bird monster | [choking, retches up food, looks at Marco] |
| Marco | Uh, hey, Star, can we maybe move seat—? |
| Star | [staring straight ahead] |
| Marco | Hey, are you okay? |
| Soft music plays over Moon and Eclipsa's friendly dinner conversation. | |
| Star | [teary-eyed] I'm perfect. |
| Moon | [stands up] Eclipsa, thank you so much for a wonderful evening. Unfortunately, I must be going now. |
| Star and Eclipsa | [surprised look] |
| Moon | [leaving the room] River. |
| River | Yes, dear! [to dinner plate] I never liked you. [follows Moon] |
| Star | [to Eclipsa] Uh, he was talking about the broccoli. |
| Cut to Monster Temple exterior; Moon and River leave together. | |
| Star | [comes out of the temple] Whoa-whoa-whoa, Mom! Wait! Where are you going? |
| Moon | Your father and I are going to take off. |
| Star | Oh, it was the Globgor thing, wasn't it? Ugh! I know I should've told you earlier. |
| Moon | No, it's... it's not Globgor. It's Eclipsa. |
| Star | W-What? You guys looked like buds. You were jamming back there. |
| Moon | I don't trust her. |
| Star | I guess you don't think I made the right decision then. |
| Moon | Look, you were queen, and you made a decision. I may not think it was the right decision, but that doesn't matter. |
| Star | Well, so what are you gonna do? |
| Moon | Your dad and I need some time alone together, and he wants to build something called a... yurt? |
| Star | A what? |
| River | A yurt, my dear. It's like a tent, but round! I got the plans right here. [unrolls scroll of yurt diagram] I'm going to use my saliva to bind the logs together. |
| Star | That... doesn't sound safe. |
| Moon | Yes, it sounds pretty dangerous. Sure you don't want to come with us? |
| Star | I feel like I gotta stay here and help Eclipsa figure this out. |
| Moon | [hugs Star] I love you, sweetie. |
| Star | [tearing up] I-I love you, too. |
| Moon and River walk away. Marco appears next to Star and puts his hand on her shoulder. | |
| Marco | You okay? |
| Star | Just kinda feel so grown up. |
